Washington -50 I'm guessing.What would be the line for Snyder’s team @ Defenders?
Impressive that Vegas nailed both without ever having seen so the new rules, etc. would impact things.The Over/Under and spread are both on the line for this drive.
Fox's scoreboard is a travesty compared to ABC.Interesting that ABC has the O/U and spread on their gamecast scoreboard, but FOX doesn't.
I agree. It could be like the combine on steroids, plus you can make a little change in the meantime.I think this would be prefect for a 4 year college player on the draft “bubble” to use to prove himself for teams. I’m surprised there aren’t many younger FCS or D2 “seniors.” on rosters
Agreed. Seems like it will keep guys from getting killed too.It’s funny, but I really liked the stand-still punts and kickoffs. It’s amazing how fast the gunners can get downfield on a punt even when they don’t leave until the ball is kicked.
Wait until you see them in solid green. I think the uniforms in general are pretty bad. Houston's in particular are so frustrating -- how do you decide on an Oilers-esque logo and then finish with that uniform?Those unis on TB are hideous
That, plus I’m sure beer helps.Are the ticket prices why these crowds seem fun?
I was at the DC game yesterday and the crowd was very young (lots of people in their 20s) and very drunk.Are the ticket prices why these crowds seem fun?
Not enough cheese?He's recovering from an injury.
Looks like a good crowd in Dallas, but they did a terrible job micing this stadium.
I know what you were talking about. I was making a joke. It's the XFL, come on, go with the EXTREME!I'm referring to the audio. (Microphoning?) This is the biggest crowd all weekend, but you can't hear them.
The cheese and mice levels seem fine to me.
The XFL replay guys are NFL replay guys. So probably pretty often.love that they just went to the replay booth and the dude admits he doesn't know what to do.
legitimately makes me wonder how often this happens in the nfl.
woah didn't know this.The XFL replay guys are NFL replay guys. So probably pretty often.
Let’s only hope that the NFL can improve the accuracy. I cashed both Overs on Sat and lost both on Sun (based on reported number of plays the new rules yielded in the unreported exhibition games) yet had to hear repeatedly how all 4 Unders cashed.Seeing the spread and the over under on the scoreboard is most certainly going to happen in the NFL next few years.
What # did you get for the total in the DC game? ABC’s score bug had 51.5 listed and the FG that Seattle pulled off the board kept that over from hittingLet’s only hope that the NFL can improve the accuracy. I cashed both Overs on Sat and lost both on Sun (based on reported number of plays the new rules yielded in the unreported exhibition games) yet had to hear repeatedly how all 4 Unders cashed.
This was a HUGE win for not only the XFL but for football in general as the kickoff rule is nothing short of brilliant while addressing all of the NFL’s injury concerns without taking away the excitement of the kickoff......while eliminating the touchback without severe penalty. I expect the NFL to adopt this kickoff rule or a very close similarity of it.Watching this mostly to see the rules departure from the NFL.
The broadcasters somehow were ridiculously uninformed on the point spreads.Impressive that Vegas nailed both without ever having seen so the new rules, etc. would impact things.
This is interesting because there is potential for competitive advantage here based on referee influence. The XFL rule is "25 seconds from when the ball is spotted". This is similar to the original NFL rule when play clocks became a thing. The reason it got changed is because the time it takes the officials to spot the ball is not static. It might take 2 seconds on a run up the middle and 12 seconds on a deep incomplete pass, and the difference gives the offense more or less time to get a play in or run time off the clock. So the NFL changed it to 40 seconds, starting as soon as the previous play ended.Watching these games with a :25 play clock makes one realize that a :40 clock that the NFL currently utilizes is tremendously wasteful. I expect the NFL to reduce the clock at least to :35 in the immediate future.
